Other highlights of the camcorder include a number of Canon's special technologies, such as Face Detection, and a solid array of core features.

At the heart of the HF R100 is a 2.39MP HD CMOS Image Sensor and Canon's DIGIC DV III Image Processor. Working together these two features help you capture bright, clean, and detailed video and still images in high def. A Genuine Canon 20x HD Video lens with 20x optical zoom and Dynamic Image Stabilization also make stunning image capture possible. Other staple components of the camcorder include the 2.7" widescreen LCD and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

When it comes to user-friendly features the VIXIA HF R100 comes with a number of practical and useful tools. Aside from the aforementioned Face Detection, you'll benefit from features like Advanced Video Snapshot, Auto Intelligent Auto Focus (AiAF), AE Bracketing, and a built-in flash.

Flash Memory Recording The VIXIA HF R100 allows you to record up to 12 hours of video to removable SD memory cards. The advantages of flash memory go beyond the added recording time. You'll also appreciate the quick response time, because there are no moving parts. In addition, when you review, you'll have quick access to your footage. Another plus is the VIXIA HF R100's low power consumption rate, allowing your battery to last longer. And if your HF R100 happens to slip, or you accidentally knock it against something, you'll be happy to know that flash memory makes your camcorder more shock-resistant than other recording storage systems.

The screen delivers bright, clear detail and the widescreen format means there's no need to imagine what your final image will look like on your widescreen television because it's not squeezed into a small space while you're shooting. What you see will be what you get

Dynamic Image Stabilization With the Canon HF R100, you can be sure that even on the move your video will be smooth and steady. Dynamic IS provides continuous adjustment throughout the entire zoom range to correct a broader range of motion. In comparison to conventional electronic image stabilization systems, extra compensation is applied at wide-angle focal lengths to eliminate unwanted vibration that is common when walking

In addition, a specific face may be selected as the main subject for continuous tracking. This feature can be used to search for clips featuring that specific subject's face. In search and playback, use of the Face Index will display frames with the chosen face as a thumbnail in each shot in which it appears. The selected face can be linked as a timeline to further identify footage containing that subject

Advanced Video Snapshot Advanced Video Snapshot allows you to capture the highlights of your adventures with the same ease as taking photos. Simply record a series of short video clips - or select your favorite clips while in Playback Mode - and blend in your favorite background music to create an exciting movie that will grab everyone's attention.
